Th* Republican Xntlonal Convention wWchmpt In ChlCiiff" la*t week, done It* w#>rk well an<| we tliink to the en- lire satisfaction of nearly every Re­ publican 111 the lajitl. The ticket com- hltitfft the Soldier and^Statesman, ami I*, without question, the very strongest that conlil have been made. Turn it which end up yon have a mind to and It sho*v8 a tower of strength, ahirity and statesmanship unsurpassed by* unv Presidential ticket -ever before presented" t« the American people. With BUIXR and LOOAX as the rain­ ing cry, th« Republican party will march to sure and certain victory In November. , The Platform and full proceedings of tlie Convention can be found on the Inside pages of this paper. When a Hog is Hurt it Is Sure to Squeal. We should judg" the dudes of the Woodstock Sentinel are enjoying a racquet , by the way they dance and sweat. In their issue of last week they aocneed the editor of the PLAIX- SICALETT with every crime w« believe, but murder. We don't think they have made that charge yet. But we *reatlll hopeful. « And all tills in anawer to an article •n the Circuit Clerk question, The rtmple facts are, the Sentinel took ex­ ceptions becau«e we saw fit to support W. P. Morse for Circuit Clerk instead of the Ring candidate, and took us to task therefor. Our reply seems to JMure Irritated the whale crowd, and because they could not answer the plain facts, and saw the cause of their pet candidate gradually sinking, they •qtiea] like stuck hogs, and think that by making a personal attack on the editor of this paper to help their cause. Poor fools. We are not running for Hfflce. Even if you could make some tttie believe your dirty lying slar.g we Should net lose a vote thereby. But We wish right here to say to this pretended editor of the Sentinel. Gard South worth, in the language of Josh Stillings, it is foeHsh "to innnky with # buzz saw when in moslinu." Is your record, financially, morally, politically «r religiously so clean that you would like to see it in print? We have it xfrom beginning to end, and shall not hesitate to use it. A short chapter from the. County Records, the pro- flPfdings of Church Festivals, the Ledger of a certain Milwaukee firm, or •ven the private Diary of a "•Mcllenry County politician, might not prove un­ interesting. And it would be factn. w»d not like the SentineV* tirade of last week, stale lies, which they re­ hash once or twice a year, and then ehuckle in their sleeves for a few days, and imagine, the PKAINDKAXER is squelched. Get up something new. if-.-.These are old a.id were exploded U long ago. We do not lay any claim to ff Infallibility, but we are ready, to-day :#r at any lime, to compare records - with Gard South worth or any of his dirty crew, and as we once before saiii, morally, socially, politically or even religiously. ' Why did not tins Sentinel answer our Article of May 28tli on the Circuit Clerk question, instead of running off on this tirade Of abuse of u& personally? Sim­ ply because they could not. and finding themselves in a corner attempted to •xtiicate themselves by besmearing us with their dirty slime. But it will not work. The people are looking at this question for themselves, and at the ps* present time the conclusions are not favorable to Mr. Richards. The third term candidate does not like the PLAIN- I>KALUK'S course, and as the pretended ^ ' editor of the Sentinel has no brains to advocate his cause he lias to do it him- •ell. Last week's Sentinel was a speci. men of Ills argument. But then the , GREENWOOD- 1 ^ EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--^If!* tiave been llstining and watching Tnteutly for that cuckoo of Asa's. W. A. Chester Wnite Barker sold two of his blooded brood swine on Wednesday last, for $45. Does it pay to raise good stock? Would you believe It? But k Is never the less, so tliHt As* met face to lace with that dfcar litfle scribe of Richmond, for the Sentinel. Flossy's voice and nerve was frozen, and some­ thing stuck in Asa's throat. We left them in this situation and know not whether they have recovered. James McDonald Jr. spent the fore part of last week in Chicago, Ed. W essun and wile are vlsitlng relatives In Iowa. Mrs. C. H, Mansfield, of Harvard, Is visiting relatives in this village. Ed. Wesson lias purchased the farm of Henry Wells, Consideration $3,000. Diphtheria seems to hang to the children of Greenwood and vicinity. present writing Scbre Baldwin ami Nodie Garrison are quite sick with it. Dr. A. E. Baldwin, of Chicago Js visiting with his parents in this vil­ lage. • " r ' J.A.Connell and Ml?s Ada Tefft% both of Richmond, made.us. a pleasant call last Friday". Mr. Connel is si clerk Ift.the mail service, is acquainted with Mr. Morse, candidate for Circuit Clerk and speaks very highly of him; Richmond's bold, dasiring. and ex. ceedingly lovely damsel scribe for the Sentinel, speaks of the PLAINDKALKK being well represented at Richmond on Decoration Day; and especially does she point out Greenwood with adjectives. Now my child, if yen think we are really dashing, for we supposed we were somewhat logy, we shiuini rather you wou'd tell us confi­ dentially than to announce us as such, publicly through the press. It you feel since meeting brother Asa, that your nerve and voiee are frozen, atid that you must step aside from work undone, we wi III n some of our pilgrim­ ages about Richmond, come to your rescue, Mr. Morse, candidate for Circuit Clerk, was in town on Monday of last week. This Is the first ti.ne our peo­ ple have been permitted to see Mr. Morse, and so far as we have been able to learr. he made a very good impres­ sion. Mr. Morse comes before us well recommended as a soldier and a citi­ zen; a man worthily deserving of the office of which he aspires. Mr. Rich­ ards, all concede, is a true gentlemen and lias made a yery efficient officer. Many of our citizens seem to think in­ asmuch as Mr. Richards has had the office t»vo terms that lie should step down and out. some think to the con­ trary. With us, we are almost afraid to vote, and do you wonder at it. J. A. Sheldon made our school a very pleasant visit on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Sheldon informs us that he is a can­ didate for County Superintendent of Schools. We are personally acquainted with Mr. Sheldon, know him to be a gentleman a person interested and en­ gaged in school work, and well quali­ fied for the office of which lie seeks. OBITUARY.

I never listened to a more appropriate «tU- conrse'than that af the Rev. Frazer, tfellvered at Richmond on Decoration Day. It is to be hoped that President Tllaino will remember T. J.

A-V-' *ki>\ Mr. Wire, of Greenwood, placed me under obligations for the honor he conferred by se­ curing a short interview with the talented Miss Ilowden, the Richmond correspondent of the Woodstock Sentinel-, while at Richmond on Dccoration Day. Miss Emma Choate's funeral, from the resi­ dence of her parents, was attended by a large concourse of sympathiz'ng friends. Rev; W. A. Evans preached an eloquent sermon. As I gazed upon the quiet lest of the youthful sleeper mv thoughts dwelt upon Christ 's words, "not dead, but slecpeth.i?** Snldiers should not forgot to patronize their old comrade, Wm. H. Cowlin, in securing claims against the government for services tendered. Mr. Cowlin can attend soldiers claims and secnreapropcradjnstment thereof more economically and with gren'ter despatch than any person remote from the claimant. He is every way worthy and understands th3 entire mi'nutia of the business. y-:': DIKD.--At the resilience of lier parents in this vill 'igc, Saturday, Jnnu 7th, 18~<4, Mis» Jennie, daughter of Mr. Mark buwsou .J aged It years, If: months, and :l ilayn. I.ife and its hapeuings are uncertain- but death is certain and the hereafter a mystery. Death always seemed hardest to us when it takes one so young, and who is just in.the dawli of inoruiog. Everything surrounding lo make life happy and a pleasure. Miss Jennie was taken sick about three weeks ago with diphtheria, paralysis of the heart and iun<;s setting in, she sarik rapidly, and willingly yielded her dear spirit to . her Maker. Miss Jennie was born in Elina. Perth Co.. Canada, Sept. 4th, 1 SCO; she was left without the care of a mother at the age of 6 years, she having preceeded her daugli ter to that mysterious rcstlin; she 'was not neglected however, for she had a kind and loving father, and of late years, a tender and aflectionate step­ mother, who deeply mourn her death. Jer.nie came to Greenwood in Aug­ ust, 1833, and during her short but pleasant life among us, bad by her kind disposition, pleasant manners, and intellectual powers, won the hearts »f all who came to know her. Tire fun­ eral services took place at her late home, Monday forenoon. Rev. H. Hap­ pen officiating. Iler remains were taken to Canada for burial, it being her request that she> might be layed beside the rctnaing of her mother. Deceased leaves a father, mother, half sister and brother, who have the heart­ felt sympathy of a large circle of friends in this their hour of sorrow. When the Are broke out in Willnrd'a Hotel in Washington the ot ter day '-Assistant See re tar* Joslyn, of the Interior Department, ap­ peared at one of the fourteenth street win. dows," savsa local report, - 'tenderlv bearing in hi* arms three elegantly upholstered women's hats, coverrd with ostrich's and all kinds of feathers which he dropped salelv to the irronnd amid the deafening cheers of the crowd."--R eview. Query: Was it the "women" or ths ••hats" that were "elegantly upholstered." "Vox Popnli Vo\ Dei," seems to have been the motto of the Republican Xational Oonven- tioij, which closed its wise' deliberations on Friday evening, the Otli ins't., l>v giving the people their cnoicc of standard bearers, and placing at the head of the Republican ticket James G. lilaine and John A. I.ogan. It is now nearly nine years since the people have main­ tained a steady and constant demand that our conventions should listen to Ihcir voice and to their desires. In isrs, I think it was, when James U. Maine resisted the attempt to grant full amnesty to Jefferson Davis. Itlaine was equal to tho emergency, and from that time till the present the people, of him and to him, "we will not let thee go." In 187H, I think General Hurlbut, while at home, being then a member of Congress, made an eloquent speech bringing him before the people in?a more for­ mal manner. From that time henceforth tho boom has progressed until on Friday, the 0th day of June, lS8i, it culminated in iriumph, thus verifying the adage, "Where the candi­ date is bigger than the boom it will stay, but #herc the boom is bigu'er than tho candinate it will vanish." The Republican majorities have l>een so overwhelmingly large, with few exceptions, politicians hare managed through the caucus system to disregard the will of the people, set aside their chosen candidate, and foist a dark horse upon them. I would not detract one iota from tho administiations of Hayes, Garfield, or Arthur, but I can truth­ fully nflirin. that their nominations came nearer handing our government over into the hands of our opponents than is safe to try in 1384. And this demonstrates to my mind'^the benefit to the country of having two or mor |K>titical organizations nearly equally sun- ported by the peopln, go nomitui/io"reuses to be synonimous with election. This fact alone when il exists ptftmpts each and every party to select the best man for the place and go before the people for tlisir ratification. Our Convention just closed seemed actuated by thi* sentiment, and have given us the names of James G. lilainc and Jo'.in A. I.ogan, the IMunicd ICnignt and the Dauntless 1.ion, to in­ scribe upon our banncs anil march to certain victory. No two other names would inspire such enthusiasm, no two other names would lead us to certain triumph. We will inscribe on our lianners beneath their names "Vox J'opuli, Vox Dei," Pro Deo el Populic, and the Red Sea of opposition shall not thwart our path which lends to sure success. When the tews of Blaine's nomination was placed upon our bulletin the enthusiasm was unlKMinded and whilc'the gathering crowds were swing­ ing their hats mid deafening cheers Charley Donnelly'8 dog snatched up a cast-off hat and forcing his way among the throng, Kvun; ii, from side to side with equal glee. And in the eveninff, when it became known that Logan was nominated for Vice President, the names of ISIaine and Logan were on every tongue. Men shouted, boys screamed, women ap proved, dogs liarked ami roosters crowed Even the Democrats, notwithstanding their oft.repeated boast, "we will beat you in November" could not withhold their sympa­ thy. •ft. • kr ..
